If the phillies lose wheeler gets to fight the teammate of his choice

Zack Wheeler needed just 16 pitches to complete the first 3 innings tonight. That's the fewest pitches thrown by a starter through the first 3 innings of a game since at least 2000!

i am no longer against the vertical video apps. some people should be on the vertical video apps instead of here, a reading app. with physical distance and over many generations our two peoples can naturally evolve apart from one another and we will no longer be burdened with interaction

Incredibly overdue but good. Also haven’t seen kershaw lose like this since 2019 NLDS game 5

i'm trying to settle an argument. what's the most millennial engagement bait?

More & more eligible low-income people are losing SNAP because of H.R. 1’s bureaucratic hurdles, including this mom who has tried for months to get her family’s benefits back while working & caring for 2 young kids. Keep in mind: SNAP benefits average about $6 per person per day.

When your cat looks in another direction for a minute and you're puzzled about what has their attention, that's when it's addressing the audience. If you read Garfield you'd understand that's the beat where it's thinking about something really funny, at your expense, making you look like an idiot

Watching The Swarm (1978). We need to bring back these movies but do it properly.

This is part of why I’m always ranting about how “spice” as a cutesy euphemism for sexual content means nothing and isn’t helpful. It’s arbitrary and generic, and companies like Kickstarter can move the goalposts on its meaning wherever they want. It doesn’t protect you from platform censorship.

The MLB Spaghetti Policy - Teams who will allow you to bring in a gallon ziplock bag of spaghetti 🍝 to a game. Want to add the Phillies here too. Their policy was unclear online but we found posts this morning showing they’d allow it too.

too many stupid people have money; that's why I'm launching protein cigarettes

Monday marks 20 years since Rowand’s famed face-breaking catch, which remains among the most memorable plays in team history. To mark the occasion, Rowand recently joined The Inquirer's baseball show.

why would i want to watch a podcast. podcasts are for when you are doing something else

This ad timing was too funny not to share.

He's the franchise player, so he's going to wear this, but Joel Embiid is playing harder than any other Sixer. I get the frustrations over his injuries, but the guy is giving all his body will allow.

The #StanleyCup Playoffs are out of this world! 🚀 Proud Philly sports fan and astronaut Christina Koch (/Astro_Christina), a member of the Artemis ll crew, is in the house for Game 4 in Philadelphia!

quick thread 🧵 After MLB investigated and cleared a player who allegedly choked his fiancée from discipline, I asked league commissioner Rob Manfred how the league uses input from people who participate. Here's what Manfred said: www.readeyeblack.com/p/mlb-promis...

Christina Koch has watched the Eagles from space (and is not above saying "Go Birds" to ground control). When the Sixers toured NASA in 2016, she gave a tour to Joel Embiid & his teammates. She's a true 4-for-4 fan, and tonight at the Flyers game, she explained why www.inquirer.com/flyers/artem...

It started with a mission: build something that works better than you’d expect but ultimately doesn’t really help. Hi, I’m the guy that invented the magnets at the bottom of the shower curtain

I can’t believe they made me miss Crawford’s first homer

Sorry this is my fault for getting excited to watch baseball again. They can sense it.

Is it a bad sign if an ominously slowed down version of my leitmotif starts playing when I arrive at the grocery store

They’re going to lose tonight and win in those hideous uniforms tomorrow and I’m gonna be so mad.

I’m very excited to announce my new podcast! I'll be telling true stories of survival, starting with the story of Ada Blackjack, who was stranded for two years in the high Arctic. If you subscribe now to What to Carry, What to Burn on your fav podcast app, you’ll get the first episodes on May 12!

Phillies won and I got ice cream in a tiny helmet. All is well.

@aemccarthy.bsky.social writes about the decline of the American sports bar, and how two very disparate forces — women's sports, and gambling — are shaping its future. Also shared by our friends at @defector.com

basically none of the advice on “all costs are going up and you are going to starve” are helpful. i can only store so many dried beans. i can only afford so many dried beans! there’s not a lot of doomsday prepping stuff that one guy can do no matter what the antisocial hoarder guys tell you

This was a hard story to report. Newborns who don’t get a vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop a condition where they bleed uncontrollably. But more and more families are declining the shot. And babies are dying. www.propublica.org/article/more...
